SP01R072 - Details

• The SAP error message SP01R072 indicates that a specific spool request is part of multiple composed spool requests. This situation typically arises when a spool request is created as part of a larger document or report that has been split into multiple parts, and the system is unable to process or manage these requests correctly.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Composed Spool Requests: The spool request in question is linked to multiple composed spool requests, which can happen if the report or document being printed is designed to be split into several parts (for example, when printing a large report that exceeds certain limits).
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that affect how spool requests are handled, particularly in relation to composed requests.
  Concurrency Issues: If multiple users or processes are trying to access or manipulate the same spool request simultaneously, it can lead to conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Spool Request Status: Use transaction code
